Carter Comeau
always wanted to play football. He just never had the chance. He will get the
opportunity with the University
of Calgary Dinos in
September 2018.
The Dinos
confirmed that the 6’6”, 340 lbs. Comeau will enroll at the University of Calgary
and compete for a spot along the offensive line.
From the rural
community of Riverton, Manitoba with population of only 500 people
no football existed, so Comeau played competitive hockey in the Manitoba Junior
Hockey League with the Winnipeg South Blues.
He started last
year for the Okanagan Sun in the British Columbia Football Conference playing
both guard and tackle.
“I always wanted
to play football but had no access to the sport. I came to Calgary as I feel it is the best place to
win, they have good coaching and because of offensive line coach Paul Carson,”
stated the 22 year old Comeau who has three years of U Sports eligibility
remaining.
“Carter is big
athletic young man that developed into a great offensive lineman. With his size
and strength provide him with the opportunities to excel in football,” states
Head Coach Wayne Harris.
Before
committing to the Dinos, Carter spoke with UBC, Manitoba, Laval, and Alberta
and joins Tye Kitzman, Connor Richard, Nathaniel Anderson, and Robbie Rodrigues
from last year’s Sun team that earlier committed to the Dinos.
Carter is the
cousin of former National Hockey League Hall of Famer, Reggie Leach and is the
son of Jason and Theresa Bjnorson.
